Manslaughter requires negligence, unintentional murder with no negligence (hitting someone passed out on train tracks in the middle of a blind curve, for example) is just a no fault situation. No crime. I guess you could call manslaughter the illegal kind of unintentional murder, if you wanted to be a pedant.

Recently had an "issue" with a local business that turned into me pressing charges on them. They tried to sue me because they broke the law. (makes as much sense to you as it does to me) They failed miserably, made fools of themselves in court, but best of all, I got the whole office's mug shots and now those are proudly displayed whenever you google the name of the business on their google review.

[@ryanroberts1104]

I would love to provide a link but one lawsuit is still pending and I need to wait until that is finished to say everything. The review that is there now is sort of a rough draft with a vague explanation of why there are mugshots, I'll have to edit it later. In North Carolina, we have the ability to press charges privately. It's like a lawsuit, but, instead of money, they issue an arrest warrant for the other party. This business trespassed on my property and attempted to steal something, got ran off under threat of death, and then, showed up again 2 days later. They had no legal authority to do what they were doing, but seemed to think they did. (even after the police explained otherwise) Eventually, the employees that came to my house were arrested for trespassing and attempted theft, 3 of them, and then, the office manager who sent them got arrested too! In a lawsuit that has already been thrown out, they tried to sue me for threatening to shoot them. I told the judge yes, I absolutely said that, and I would have if they didn't leave. (We have very strong property rights in this state) The judge agreed it was reasonable under the circumstances. Bottom line is they are just extremely dumb hicks from a very rural place. There is literally no other explanation besides absolute and complete lack of brainpower. They're like the Florida man that calls the cops because he didn't get his drugs. I gotta say it was both a very nice and very weird feeling to have the cops be entirely on my side...usually it doesn't work like that. :)

With a crowbar its pretty trivial to snap open a fuel door. Not many people have locking caps and even those are not difficult to overcome.

Regarding siphoning fuel, ABSOLUTELY still a thing and a chronic problem where I live. They pry the fuel door open, which scratches up your paint job. After my husband had his fuel siphoned twice in just a few months, he got a locking gas cap. Sure, the fuel door gets busted and paint scratched, but they can't get that outrageously expensive gas. They usually target carparks. Although these have cameras, no one really actually monitors them. Around here, parking in downtown is super expensive, so it's cheaper (and quicker given traffic and the time to find a parking space three blocks away from your intended location) to park free in a carpark and take the train into the city. However, parking garages are also a target for fuel siphoners. My best friend is a nurse and had her car's gas siphoned while it was parked in the hospital employee lot. Imagine the sort of scum who steals gas from a lady who just spent a 16 hour shift doing chest compressions, puked on by 5 different patients, helped put pressure on a gunshot wound and ended up head-to-toe in blood, and had to hold the hand of an elderly dying patient, she just wants to get home to her kids and wash away the sweat, blood, and pee smell that lingers despite hospital showers, only to find her car out of gas.

That bus driver misread the GPS and they ended up on some extremely narrow mountain road where it was so tight that they hit a cliff and busted several windows.

It brings me joy to see old Nazis being prosecuted. I was born in the 70s and many of the police guys were from the nazi police because we needed police. and now I hope our police will be okay.

As to the license plates, the craziest thing was happening for a long time here. People were fed-up with getting caught by speed cameras, and someone figured out that the fine for having no plate was far cheaper, and didn't cost points on your license either (neither do speed cameras, but most in-person fines do cost points on your license). So every 3rd or 4th car you'd see on the street would have no license plates. When pulled over, they would just claim it must have been stolen and they didn't notice, and pay the small fine. Took several years for the police to convince the provincial government to up the fine for not having a license plate displayed...

Full filler flaps are super easy to break, even if locked, especially now that they are usually plastic. They also put anti-syphon baffles in the fuel filler neck but you can force a hose past them.

The reason for those pesky statutes of limitations is that we can't be sure we only convict people who aren't innocent with evidence that is collected within months, let alone decades later. The limitation is used to check the power of law enforcement from harassing and persecuting innocent people forever just because they "think" they might be guilty. "[I]t is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."

[@nerfherder4284]

If cops 'think' someone is guilty and persecute them, that is itself a crime. Innocent until proven guilty.

Simon, what's that wall covering on your right hand side? I'm in the process of decorating my house and I've been inspired to steal your decor ideas. Loving the content.

Thanks Simon, got many chuckles from this one! :)

Window tints are generally considered secondary offenses in *most states*, meaning, they need another offense before they can initiate a traffic stop.

[@sleepypanda3694]

As an Aussie, the window tint thing is weird to me. We all tint our windows here. There's a limit on how dark but most cars have the max allowed. We just bought a new car and literally the first 'package' they offer is window tinting. The sun really f's up your car without it.

[@zeke7515]

@@sleepypanda3694 yeah. As a general statement, the further south you go, the darker the allowable tint. From a police perspective, darker tints make it harder to see when you walk up to the driver window if they have a weapon in their lap.

[@steel8231]

I think the statute of limitations became a thing because after enough years it becomes nearly impossible to prove anything regarding a crime, likewise someone not involved could be more easily blamed and falsely convicted.

[@nerfherder4284]

There actually is no state that has a statute of limitation on murder.

[@steel8231]

@@nerfherder4284 I didn't specify murder.

There's no statute of limitations for murder in the US

You can tint the front screen and front widows but only by a very small amount, the front screen must pass 75% of light and the front sides 70%
